Patient's question:
I have had a medication-induced miscarriage for 2 months now. My discharge has increased, and it's a bit yellow. Sometimes I feel a burning sensation in my vagina, which is very uncomfortable! My last menstrual period was around the 20th of last month (I'm not sure, maybe the 25th), but it still hasn't come yet. What could be the reason?I hope you can reply to me as soon as possible. Thank you!
First follow-up question: I took 3 boxes of Huarong tablets during this time, but they didn't seem to work at all. What kind of medicine should I take for the burning sensation in my vagina?
Second follow-up question: Three weeks ago, when I was going downstairs, I suddenly felt a warm flow from my vagina. I thought it was discharge, but after using the restroom, I realized it was something else.
Doctor's answer:
Hello: A burning sensation in the genital area may indicate inflammation. It is recommended to undergo a vaginal discharge examination to identify the cause for targeted treatment. A menstrual cycle delay of about 7 days from the normal period is considered normal. Menstrual irregularities should be noted:1. Maintain a positive mood, avoid mental stress and emotional fluctuations. Some individuals may experience lower abdominal bloating, back pain, breast tenderness, mild diarrhea, fatigue, drowsiness, emotional instability, irritability, or tendency to depression during menstruation, which are all normal and do not require excessive concern.
2. Pay attention to hygiene to prevent infection. Keep the external genital area clean. Abstain from sexual intercourse during menstruation. Ensure warmth and avoid cold exposure. Avoid overexertion. Those with heavy menstrual flow should avoid consuming brown sugar.
3. Underwear should be soft, cotton, and well-ventilated. Wash and change it frequently, and ensure the underwear is dried in the sun.
4. Avoid cold, sour, spicy, or irritating foods. Drink plenty of warm water to maintain smooth bowel movements. Individuals with blood heat should consume more fresh fruits and vegetables before menstruation and avoid stimulating foods like garlic, onions, leeks, and ginger. Those with poor qi and blood circulation should increase their nutritional intake, such as milk, eggs, soy milk, pork liver, spinach, pork, chicken, and lamb, while avoiding cold fruits and vegetables.
